This attractive semi-detached family home has been updated and improved by the current owners yet still retains many of the character features including original fireplaces, high ceilings and sash windows. The property benefits from two separate reception rooms, a front aspect lounge with a bay window fitted with the original sash windows and a fireplace. There is a dining room at the rear that overlooks the garden and again features a fireplace and sash windows. To the rear there is a good sized kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a range of base and wall cupboard and drawer units with complimentary work surfaces and integrated appliances. A window overlooks the gardens and a door leads outside and there is plenty of space for a table and chairs.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms and the family bathroom. All three bedrooms are doubles and two of the double bedroom feature original fireplaces. The third bedroom is currently used as a study and enjoys an open outlook over the garden. The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising panel bath with shower over, low level WC and wash hand basin.

Outside, to the front is a lawn with steps up from the road and established shrubs. There is scope to create off road parking subject to consent and a number of neighbouring properties have done so. Gated side access leads to the rear gardens with a patio area adjoining the house with steps up to lawns with a number of borders and established shrubs. There is a great sized home office to the rear of the garden.

The property is a short distance from a local parade of shops with more comprehensive facilities just over half a mile away in Caterham Valley.
